Okay guys, I have been converted.

I am selling my s14 (200sx) and coming around to the straight six club.

But I am unsure on the variations within the r33 range, ie GTS-t, GTS25-t, etc. I have my heart set on the series two, but I am unsure of all the differences between a Series 1 and a Series 2.

If anyone knows a website or has the knowledge in listing ALL the differences between the two series, let me know.

See you all on the streets

Must you add smart comments to every post you make tony?

Midnight Monkey: as mention do a search on the forum you will find plenty of threads.

Series 2 is definately the preferrable model to go for if you dont mine spending a little more.

Cheers

Just FYI:

The series 1 is not a lemon compared to series 2, as with Commodores and Falcons. If you can swing a series 2 for the price of a series 1 then go for it, but the differences are not all that great apart from styling. And I personally prefer the series 1 seats.

I hear plenty of people saying to steer clear of any series 1 VN or EA Falcon etc due to many faults in those cars, but there's really nothing wrong with the series 1 R33. The only thing "wrong" with it is it's missing a couple of features like passenger airbag. Many people tend to have that "series 1 is a lemon regardless" mentality though, so this can be used to pick up a bargain.

Edit: I didn't mean to sound so presumptuous. Presumption removed, but information remains.

The differences tend to be that the S2 has more features as standard.

ie. dual bags, abs, struts bars?

The appointments are slightly diff. like fittings, lights, bars. The bottom line is that there is nothing essentially different in a '93 to a '95 to a '96 (unlike say a VT or EA etc.)

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
